Introduction

     The NS6601 Deserializer chip is compliant to Automotive Wired High-Speed Media Transmission (HSMT) standard. The NS6601 converts HSMT input to MIPI CSI-2   D-PHY or C-PHY formatted output. The NS6601 is a quad-receiving chip to accommodate as many as 4 remotely located sensors. HSMT link operates at a fixed data rate of 3.2Gbps or 2.0Gbps in the forward direction, and 100Mbps in the backward direction. The NS6601 supports 22 meters Coaxial cable or 12 meters Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable, with multiple inline connectors. The NS6601 is ISO 26262 ASIL-B and AEC-Q100 Grade 2 certified with automotive temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.
